Huvafen Fushi

Description

Barefoot luxury has become a byword in the Maldives with dreamy vistas, Michelin-level dining and a stunning underwater spa being second nature in this rejuvenated Indian Ocean haven. Yet Huvafen Fushi, a stylish, multi-award-winning retreat, still manages to stand apart - and not just due to its secluded atoll setting within a private lagoon, reached via a thirty-minute speedboat transfer. At this luxurious retreat, forty-four spacious and contemporary bungalows and pavilions are equipped with Bose® sound systems and plasma-screen televisions, and boast their own 'Thakuru' butler service. All feature a private plunge pool (Deluxe Beach Bungalows feature two, including a pool on their front decks right on the beach) and a split-level decking with an al fresco dining area, and offer pure escapism in a truly breathtaking setting. In addition, there are lots of watersports to enjoy, including PADI-accredited scuba-diving and kitesurfing, plus The Lair - a super chill out lounge filled with DVDs, books, magazines and board games - and expeditions with the resident Marine Biologist to spot Whale Sharks and Manta Rays.
